I am a drone pilot. I also ran my own businesses for over half a century. I have now seen three horrible PR mistakes - Bud Light then Disney and now The Villages. The FAA has the major control of the airspace. States can make additional laws and regulations. Municipalities cannot create laws that affect drones flying other than peeping tom laws that apply to everybody. If this C&D demand applies to the release of information then it should apply to everybody who creates videos in and about The Villages. And then there’s the first amendment which should provide the ultimate authority about individuals or companies and their free speech rights. If The Villages doesn’t figure out a way to undue this quickly, the social media responses will soon be going around the world and reaching hundreds of millions of people. And the media will pick up the story and many more millions will read about it. Not only will The Villages be losing new home sales but the residents selling their houses will discover their potential market is collapsing as well. At that point it will be wild to see who sues whom.
